Journal of Land and Rural Studies
Rural development is a complex and multi-dimensional subject transcending traditional boundaries of academic disciplines and offers a wide canvas for exchange of views between analysts and a whole range of actors directly engaged with addressing concrete problems with respect to public policy implementations, catalysts in facilitating enabling environments for any development agenda as well as a variety of grass root workers and beneficiaries involved with the processes of development. The field is thus really broad and there are serious difficulties in admitting boundaries to it.
It is with such a perspective that the Journal of Land and Rural Studies invites relevant contributions drawing on academics working on any of the social sciences as well as the experiences of the entire range of practitioners, involved both in policy making as well as implementation in the field. Some of the obvious areas include: issues relevant to rural physical and social infrastructure, agriculture, land reforms, rural industrialisation, provisioning of credit, appropriate research and knowledge generation and their extensions to the field etc., and appropriate public policies, schemes and programmes with respect to all these areas.
